Celebrate Christmas in the Shipyards District!

This holiday season revellers are invited to enjoy FREE holiday activities in Lower Lonsdale. The Shipyards District will be buzzing with Christmas carollers, the Grinch, elves, and the Scrooge Horns, a local group of talented saxophonists.

Many of the Lower Lonsdale merchants will display local artisan-decorated Christmas wreaths. Shoppers to Lower Lonsdale are invited to participate in a game & win prizes: view a minimum of THREE Christmas wreaths for a visit with Santa and enter a contest to win fun & exciting prizes! You can pick up your wreath-viewing ballot starting December 8th at any merchant displaying a wreath or at Mo’s General Store (you are welcome to complete it while you wait for your turn to visit with Santa). Contest will close on December 23rd.

You’ll find Santa and his elves at Mo’s General Store (51 Lonsdale Avenue). Saturday & Sunday, December 8 through 23, come in and chat with the jolly ol’ elf. Be sure to bring in your ballot showing the 3 wreaths you viewed around the Shipyards District. Complimentary old-school Polaroid photos will be gifted to everyone who visits with Santa.
